Cartier Panthère Mother of Pearl Dial (Small Model)

This is a refined Cartier Panthère wristwatch, specifically identified as a small model (SM) featuring a distinctive dark grey/black Mother of Pearl (MOP) dial. The watch is constructed from high-grade stainless steel with a polished finish throughout. It features the signature square case silhouette with a screw-down bezel and the iconic integrated Maillon de Panthère five-link bracelet. The dark iridescent dial presents swirling hues ranging from purple to dark green under the light, accented by sword-shaped sword hands in a metallic finish. The bezel is secured with eight decorative screws, a hallmark of the Panthère design. Condition-wise, the timepiece displays moderate surface wear consistent with regular use, including various superficial 'desk diving' scratches and micro-abrasions along the bracelet links and the bezel. No deep gouges or significant crystal chips are visible in the provided image. This model represents a modern interpretation of the 1980s Panthère aesthetic, likely dating from the mid-2000s or later given the dial variation. The craftsmanship is evident in the seamless transition from the case to the articulating bracelet, designed to mimic the movement of the brand's namesake feline.
